When I was young and full of fire,
I thought that love was all desire.
But, as the years passed on in score,
I found that love is something more.

I found that love unlike desire,
Does not another there require.
It may be quietly shared alone,
Yet by the other never known.

I found that love in its purest form,
Makes no demands and is soft and warm.
It's something that belongs to me,
To give to you for eternity.

- Charles Edwards Moss

Note from the author: "I wrote that for my wife."
